Balances FAQs
-
What is my 'Balance'?
The account balances you get on Online and Phoneline Banking are shown in real time (in other words, they are up to date at the time you check your balance) with the exception of the accounts below.
Your Visa card, MasterCard and Asset Finance Account balances are updated up to close of business on the previous banking day.
The balance may also contain uncleared amounts (amounts that have been paid into your account but are not yet available to withdraw, for example a cheque).
-
What does 'Available Funds' mean?
‘Available Funds’ is the amount you can transfer or withdraw from your account.
If you have an agreed overdraft limit with us, your 'Available Funds' will not include the amount of your overdraft, however you can still use the funds from your overdraft limit when transferring or withdrawing from your account. The amount of your overdraft limit will appear underneath your 'Available Funds'.
-
Can I transfer or withdraw all of my ‘Available Funds’ using Online Services?
The amount you can transfer or withdraw using our Online Services is subject to transaction limits. For more informatation please see Online Services transaction limits.
Depending on the type of account you have, you may have to pay transactions fees for some transfers or withdrawals on Online and Phoneline Banking. Please contact your Relationship Manager for further information.
-
What are ‘Pending Transactions’?
The ‘Pending Transactions’ section displays Visa debit card transactions which you have made that have not yet been debited from your account.
Most Visa debit card transactions are debited within several days, however, the timeline can be different for each transaction depending on how the retailer/merchant processes it. As a result, there may be some Visa debit card transactions which you have made that are not displayed on this screen.
Simply call us 24 hours a day, +44 (0)28 9023 6644. We’ll be happy to answer any questions you have about Visa debit cards.
